Came to say this, it was a peace and harmony symbol, many old quilts that came from numerous cultures in the US especially those that were made after the Civil War to pre 1930’s used this symbol for peace - wind mills etc. ... before it was used by Hitler in the 1930’s. After the symbol was used as a nefarious symbol, any of the quilts that had this on them, no matter how sentimental were destroyed simply because the symbol was no longer a peace symbol and the families did not want to be connected with anything German, sad really. Yes, not surprised something that was a peace symbol was made to be not.
My first time in Bali we were driving and turned down a street lined with swastikas...Nazi flags flapping in the breeze. Wife told me it was a Buddhist symbol and it was backwards from swastika...but the flags are opposite on each side, so I saw them as half Nazi.
